It turned out that broadcaster Hong Rok-ki had not paid the proper wages to his employees for two years due to financial difficulties at his wedding company.
According to the wedding industry and entertainment industry today (10th), two former and current employees of a wedding consulting company, headed by Hong Rok-ki, reported that they had not been paid their wages to the Ministry of Employment and Labor on the 8th.
The wedding consulting company is a company that helps brides prepare for their wedding, such as booking dresses and makeup.
In 2011, Hong Rok-ki co-founded with another entrepreneur, and changed the business name in 2020.
Mr. A, who worked as a wedding planner at the company until February of last year, said in a phone call with the media, "I worked without receiving money for about a year from March 2021." I know that about 3 million to 5 million won in wages were delayed,” he said.
Hong Rok-ki acknowledged the fact that he had not paid the wages of his employees, and said that he applied for corporate rehabilitation procedures due to business difficulties and received a court decision in January of last year.
Hong Rok-ki's side said, "The company's situation has deteriorated due to Corona 19."
